The alcohol content is 40 degrees. It has a rich flavor and aroma, and the high alcohol content doesn't give a strong alcohol burn, making it smooth on the palate. The high quality of the sake is also impressive. It has a sweet aroma reminiscent of caramel and cake. The taste is characterized by a distinct sweetness, but it's not cloying. The perfect balance of bitterness, umami, saltiness, and a hint of astringency brings a pleasant surprise. It appeals not only to enthusiasts of rice shochu but also to brandy and whisky lovers.
The castle of the Hasezura Estate in Ushu Tomonami, which was named "Onikabuto Castle," still stands as a historic landmark from approximately a thousand years ago. From ancient times, the rich and mellow pure rice sake brewed in this brewery, named "Onikabuto," has been loved by the public. With the transmission of secret techniques, Takagi Shuzo has successfully revived this "phantom sake" known as "Onikabuto."
The evaluation of Onikabuto is quite high, and you can find many positive reviews on various Japanese websites. Despite its rarity and high price, people generally give it high praise for its delicious taste. The most noteworthy comments include "It's hard to believe it's a shochu; the richness is astonishing" and "Even though it's expensive, I want to drink it again." Its intense flavor, reminiscent of brandy, captivates many alcohol enthusiasts. Additionally, being a rare shochu aged in oak barrels, many people choose to purchase it as a gift.
